Lenses I use in landscapes images are all over the board from the widest lens to the longest lens that your camera will support. A 210mm is a very good all around lens. As far as manufacturer of a lens - they are all very good. I work with a number of lenses manufactured from 1940's to 1990's.
The challenge really is finding or creating an image - pre-visualizing the image - exposing, developing, printing, and observing if what you thought the image was going to be (pre-visualized) is what you ended up with. And then doing the process over and over. There is very good information in the prior comments.
